Jia Min says I’m meaner than Willy Wonka.I beg to differ.

We went to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today. We got our (Golden wtf) tickets but not without a lot of hassle and stress, because they were all fully booked so I waited like a vulture for them to release the reserved tickets.

When we finally snatched up the tickets, a whole horde of about 50-60 screaming wet-nosed children (thankfully without roller shoes) came charging in with 2 or 3 frazzled looking teachers in tow. If there is one thing I hate more than injections and cockroaches, its bratty kids.

Fuck, don’t tell me they’re going to watch Charlie too.

I asked the ticket-tearer, “Eh ini budak semua pergi tengok sama movie dengan saya ah?”

“Ah yalah.”

That did it. Children were racing past us in the corridor and screaming their stupid lungs out. And I dunno why but for some dumb reason I started running along with them, trying to get inside the cinema first.

Then Jia Min got into the swing of things also and she hissed “Go!” and we both separated and started running down the corridor trying to block the kids from running ahead of us.

But then this stupid fat kid came hurtling down the corridor from behind us. The stupid fat kid had the nerve to fling his elbows out to push people out of his way. One of his stupid arms whacked me and I fell to the side.

Served him right when he fell over and spilled his popcorn seconds later. So me and Jia Min reached the cinema door first and we won.

….

I do not believe I am competing with a 10 year old kid on who reaches the cinema first when we already have tickets with our seats on them.
